Jan Vesely, who arrived in Denver last February as part of trade-deadline deal that sent disgruntled veteran Andre Miller to Washington, is expected to sign a three-year contract with Fenerbahce Ulker of the Turkish Basketball League.

Vesely, a 6-foot-11 forward who has struggled in the NBA since being drafted by Washington in 2011, is expected to arrive in Istanbul Sunday to undergo the requisite medical exams.

Vesely, whose NBA contract expired at the end of last season, averaged 4.4 points and 3.7 rebounds in 21 games with the Nuggets last season. He shot 50.6 percent from the field and a dismal 42.3 percent from the foul line.

Chris Dempsey arrived at The Denver Post in Dec. 2003 after seven years at the Boulder Daily Camera, where he primarily covered the University of Colorado football and men's basketball teams. A University of Colorado-Boulder alumnus, Dempsey covers the Nuggets and also chips in on college sports.

Nicki Jhabvala is the Sports Digital News Editor for The Denver Post. Before arriving in Denver, she spent five years at Sports Illustrated working primarily as its online NBA editor, and she was most recently the overnight home page editor at the New York Times.
